What Philo does
Everything a household needs first.
Philo starts with what every household needs most: knowing who is doing what, and making sure it gets done.
The parts of Philo
Philo is one concierge made of a few parts that work together. Point at a part, or tap it, to see what it does and how it sounds. Every “Live today” was checked on Philo's production service on 25 October.
Task management
Every job in the household as a task with its place, its person and its day.
- Tell Philo in your own words; it makes the task with the place, the person and the day. If no day is given it asks once, and never picks one.
- A photo with an instruction becomes a task, and a photo can be the proof the work is done.
- Steps can go to different people, and every task has a short code.
- Routines: repeating tasks make their own copies, and a daily copy nobody closes is closed by Philo.
- A reminder when a task with a time is due. Anything overdue comes first in the morning brief, and whoever set a routine hears if it is missed.
- The house file: quiet hours, who approves spending and how urgent things reach you, filled in with Philo by chat.
How it sounds

Communication between people
Philo carries the word between the owner, the house lead and the staff, each in their own private chat and their own language.
- “Tell Elena the plumber arrives at 10” reaches her in Spanish, and her answer comes back in English.
- A morning brief at 8 in each person's own time zone: overdue first, then today, tomorrow and the week, grouped by property. Reply to it like any message: “move the second one to Friday”.
- A daily digest by email if preferred, and on Mondays the week ahead. Each week, a summary of the work each person opened and finished.
- English, Spanish, Italian and Hebrew.
- Quiet hours follow each person's time zone; a notice is held, not dropped.
How it sounds
In Maya's chat, with the photo. What Luis wrote in Spanish reaches her in English.

Calendar
Tasks with a time arrive in your own calendar, and stay right when plans change.
- A task with a time sends a real calendar invitation; when the date moves, the invitation is updated, and a cancelled task cancels it.
- Events of the household's own, that are not tasks.
- Any task's event as a file to add to your own calendar.
How it sounds
In Maya's chat; her calendar invitation moves with it.

Notes
The things worth remembering that are not jobs to do, like a gate code or what was agreed with the painter.
- Yours by default, sorted into your own groups, kept, archived, and restorable for 30 days after it is deleted.
- Shared by choice, with named people or the whole household, who can read it but not change it.
- Sensitive when it needs to be: a sensitive note's text stays out of lists, previews, reminders and emails.
- Reminders on a note, once, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, and every save kept as a version.
- Nobody else reads your notes: not other households, and not the people who run the platform.

Lists
Lists for the household: checklists, the things to keep in stock, the things to buy.
- What they will hold, and how Philo keeps them, is still being shaped.
